The RFC 1027 introduces the use of Proxy ARP to enable old machines
without subnetting to use routers (a router automatically answers the
ARP requests from the old machine for IP addresses outside the local
net). It seems CISCO routers implement the RFC (default behaviour).
I would like to use a FreeBSD machine as such an "automated" Proxy ARP
to use it as a gateway for a machine with a *very* limited stack
(using the RTC real-time kernel).
This RFC specifically mentions patches to the TCP/IP stack (for
BSD43). But the RFC is old (Oct . 87). I've attempted a quick search
on Internet, but without success.
Has someone kept a copy of the indicated patches ?
TIA
Thierry Herbelot
